Your first sentence is my whole point. My point is with those who act like EV is uncovering something we didn't know. Your second statement is correct, too. At best it can verify our observations and what we see in other stats. It can also be a short cut (like the DiMaggio example I gave), but it's hardly vital and if it went away tomorrow baseball life would go on.
